Nice post in Rybka forum

Post by Graham Banks »

http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforu ... ?tid=14752

All along I suspected that the end game of these crooks was to turn a profit. I suppose they got a little antsy with the members over on Talkchess in not giving them their free ticket to ride quick enough-so they tipped their hand with Toby-Tal.

Oh! Did they tell you that they want to remain anonymous! This is one and the same chess engine! Some one on this forum hit the nail on the head when they said that Toby-Tal was just a knock off of Deleted up for sale. These guys are nothing more than white collar crooks posing as Commies-what a joke!

I heard from a good source that it was just a renamed R3.exe - still adds up to the same it was an engine copy.

That anyone over the age of 13 actually buys into the communist rhetoric is deeply disturbing. Is the red scare back?

The fallacious assumption that tobychess.com and the Ippoleague are in cahoots is ridiculous. Presumably tobychess is paying a developer big bucks to work on TobyTal, without realizing that they're just being fed someone else's code (although this is still unverified -- people are really quick to jump to conclusions around here! We don't know if a) TT is RL or b) RL is derived from anything else).

The only thing nice about this post are the pretty italics you used. The rest of it is unsubstantiated speculation and boorish attitude.

I heard from a good source that it was just a copy of R3 - still adds up to the same though.
Try telling that to some people here though and all they do is scream "show us your proof!".
A bit like stealing a cake and eating it, then holding up their hands and denying everything. :wink: :lol:

It = TobyTal in Harvey's post, I believe. It evaluates identically to RL, and quite differently from R3, though, so that seems unlikely.

When someone want to make some money with a clone, why the hell should he release the sourcecode before that?

He could release a version for free and sell it later.

It is more likely that someone else took the code without license and tried to make some fast money with it. As long as noone can proof that it is a illegal clone, it is even legal.

And because Harvey has a good source that says it is Rybka, we all must believe it?

Well, it plays not Rybka's moves, but Robbos.

You shouldn't believe all rumors...

Does it matter which it is - seems like a con to get our money.

Fresh off the press - new Iggorit anthem (adapted from Slavik's signature):

Fullforce for Deception,
Fullforce in Igorrit!
Fullforce with all the suckers,
Fullforce we all embarrass ourselves.
